If you sign a new contract with them and you sign the new contract (and surpass the 3 days cooling-off period, if applicable)

If a suitable replacement tenant is found for your room (and clause 9.3 in your contract is met) before your contract start date, they will release you from your contract once the new tenant has signed their contract (and surpassed the 3-days cooling-off period, if applicable).

However, if a suitable replacement tenant is found for your room (and clause 9.3 in your contract is met) after your contract start date, they will release you from your contract from the date that the new tenants contract starts. This means that you'd be liable for the rooms rent up to the date that the new tenants contract starts.

To confirm, once a suitable replacement tenant has been found to take over your contract, there are a number of actions to be completed before they can release you from your contract. This is clause 9.3 as stated in your contract, but they've also included them below:

A replacement tenant has been found who has been approved by them as a suitable tenant
